The First Gallic Musical: A Cultural Highlight
“Das ist Wahnsinn!” – under this title, Parc Astérix presents its first Gallic musical, transporting guests into a world of fantasy and music. The main characters, Groupidupianix and Sérotonine, pursue their dreams in Gaul: Groupidupianix hopes to become the most famous bard, while Sérotonine aspires to be the first Druidess. Their journey is filled with challenges and magical moments. The musical, a culmination of three years of intensive project work, will be performed at the Panoramix Theater to an audience of 600. It promises a 25-minute show with spectacular stage elements, costumes, and original songs composed specifically for the production.
Reimagined Gallic Parade: A Visual Spectacle
Each year, Parc Astérix surprises its guests with new attractions. This year, the Gallic Parade takes center stage, led by none other than Asterix himself. The traditional procession is revamped with floats dedicated to famous figures like Cleopatra, Caesar, and the Gauls. A highlight is the new “Hispanic Float” featuring characters such as Pépé, Soupalognon y Crouton, and Flamenco dancers. The soundtrack, composed by Benjamin Ribolet, complements the spectacle, which will also be presented in special versions for “Peur sur le Parc” and the Gallic Christmas festival.
The Tower of Numérobis: A Technical Marvel

Revenge of the Pirates: A Fresh Take on a Classic Attraction
The classic “Le Grand Splatch” is reinvented as “Revenge of the Pirates”. On a 627-meter-long journey, guests will dive into the world of the famous comic pirates and experience an exciting ride, with the Gauls never far behind.
